Bor v1.3.0-beta-2 and Heimdall v1.0.5 Amoy Testnet Release

Hello All,

We are releasing a new version of Bor v1.3.0-beta-2 and Heimdall v1.0.5 for Amoy Testnet. Both of them are mandatory releases for all node operators.

Bor:

This includes Napoli HardFork on Bor which is scheduled for April 3rd, 2024 around 8:30AM UTC( 2PM IST ). The HF block number is 5423600. With this hardfork, we are enabling PIP-33. It also contains the upstream from geth v1.13.5 and includes the PBSS state-scheme. Additionally, Amoy config has been added in this release. Please upgrade all bor nodes (validators, sentries, archive) before the HF block number hits as this is a mandatory release.

Heimdall:

This includes support for Amoy chain.

Steps for upgrading Bor node

  1. Stop bor service

    sudo service bor stop
    
  2. Install Bor with a version tag, network name (mumbai), and node type (sentry, validator, or archive).

    # Replace the node type
    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/bor.sh | bash -s -- v1.3.0-beta-2 amoy <node_type>
    
  3. Check bor version

    /usr/bin/bor version
    
    # It should print 
    # v1.3.0-beta-2
    
  4. Restart bor service

    sudo service bor start
    

Steps for Upgrading Heimdall node

Before proceeding, please create a backup of your heimdall config file whose default location is: /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml. This might differ if you have setup heimdall at a different location.

    sudo service heimdalld stop
    
  2. Install Heimdall with a version tag, network name (amoy), and node type (sentry or validator).

    # Replace the network and node type
    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/heimdall.sh | bash -s -- v1.0.5 <network> <node_type>
    
  3. Check heimdall version

    /usr/bin/heimdalld version
    
    # It should print
    # 1.0.5
